I didn't know much about the show going into it, after one episode I was hooked. It's a really funny take on most of the sci-fi clichés we all know and love. I used to hate Josh Hutcherson but not anymore. He kills it in a very Jesse Eisenberg esque role, minus the douchey awkwardness Eisenberg has. Wolf constantly yelling 80's style one liners will make you laugh out loud.
The cast works great. There are some extremely hilarious parts on this show...and there are some that are pretty stupid ones but within the world of this show...stupid works very well.
I am definitely looking forward to season 3!
But, its not just goofy fun...there is an actual story to follow. While that path may not be straight forward or even slightly believable...its just works. The running humor is really good on this one.

Just finished season 1, it was totally awesome and fun watching. I had watched all the episodes continuously till the end of season 1, so there were moments i felt it's not moving forward at the same pace but after the ending i definitely felt good. It was totally satisfying to watch.
Edit: Ow season 2 was on a whole different level. This season focused more on the exploration of all the lead characters, their strength, weakness and more weaknesses. So the plot development was reasonably slow and also everything about this timeline of future, Mars, anything made no sense. It's like they waste too much time on building up. The last episode was great and ended with a mindblowing cliffhanger.
Edit: Yeah, season 3 is great. All those historical figures living in eternity sounds like utopia. This very idea is funny though. At last the explosion of base on true story is what made it hilariously funny.
Since i watched it to spend my time and have fun and not for absolute logic, it's worth it. To be honest, time travelling itself doesn't make sense.

This show is great. Starts out strong, weakens in season 2, then concludes well in season 3. It feels very unique, sometimes alienating but it's too irreverent to get offended by. Watch this if you're bored with the usual stuff and are craving something very weird and surprising.
Future Man was so much better than I expected it to be. It literally had me laughing out loud several times per episode. It's about the love of a boring janitor named Josh Futterman (Joel Hutcherson) whose entire life is playing video games. When he beats an unbeatable game some mysterious visitors from the future show up (Derek Wilson and Eliza Coupe). They say the world is in danger and Josh is the only one who can save it. He travels through time with them as they do everything they can save Earth from aliens trying to take over. I promise that if you give this show a chance you will not be sorry! It's not the best comedy series I've ever seen but it's definitely one of the more underrated comedies I've ever seen.
